Today was also a day of work. 11am-9.30pm today. It was less busy than yesterday and I managed to get the main jobs I needed to do done.
I watched Chicago Med in my break this afternoon whilst Aaron played poker.
Also pretty much it. Being at work doesn't really give much time for anything else.

January 12th 2016
Work was all day today from 11am til 9.45pm. It was one of those days where I had a lot of jobs to do anyway but every person in the whole country wanted to come in as well. Plus I was the only one working. ARGH stressed! I couldn't stop crying either that day. Everything was just getting to me.
I got home at 10 and pretty much just crashed out. Yet again another not so productive day.

I had to go back to work after my week off today but luckily it was only 11am-5pm. It did drag though. And all I did when I got home was catch up on the latest Chicago PD, Fire and Med and then some YouTube and went to bed.
I think this was probably the least busy day of this year so far.

I woke up after a lay in today. It was the last day of my week off so I was entitled to it! I had another email from the cemetery this morning. The man, how lovely if he, went out to the cemetery with an ID marker and placed it on the Dunford grave! It didn't have a stone so I wouldn't of found it myself anyway but how nice is that someone finding it for me. Even sent pictures. I was blown away by his generosity. There turns out to be 2 Dunford's in that grave by the way. Turns out they were sisters who died within a week or so of eachother at the start of 1981 (the date on the letter). They lived next door to Nanny and Grampy and so that would be how my Nan knew them.
The rest of my day was of me cleaning out my fish tank since Pedro died the other day and then me going to our Pets at Home shop for a 'look' and coming home with 3 new fishies!
I finished my evening by watching the Seahawks NFL Playoff game against the Vikings. W10-9 it was close end finish. Lucky the Viking missed their extra point kick in the last 30 seconds of the game!

January 9th 2016
Today was a get up and go kind of day. Went to Grampy's house with a picnic lunch. Egg sandwiches, Quavers and a KitKat and looked through some old photo albums. Inside one was some pictures of when my Mum must've been about 2. She was on my Grampy's boat with Grampy and Nanny and I believe it was the day the Queen sailed up our river on a boat.
We went to the flower shop down the road to order our bouquet or whatever they're called. the flowers that go on top of a coffin. We chose red and white, since others had chosen, yellow, purple and blue colours for their ones. I also had to pick up a little card to write Grampy a message on.
I got called a cheeky sod in M&Co. Mum found some jeans she liked that were a size 12. I comment was a simple question of 'When was the last time you bought a size 12?' and I got called names. It was funny though. Dad laughed.
I had found online earlier that the grave Nanny bought was under the name Dunford. And through some research I found out approximately where in the cemetery it would be. And even though it was absolutely pouring with rain, I got Mum and Dad to take me to find it. And no we didn't find it. We just got soaked standing out in the rain.
When I got home I had another quick look online about this grave of Nanny's and found an email address for the organisation who look after the church and cemetery. I sent them a message about what I had found and wondered on a long shot if they had any information. Surprisingly I got an email back within an hour with a more detailed map and exactly the point in the cemetery where they are. How great is that?!
I went to bed chuffed that I knew more about it.

January 8th 2016
Still on my week off work today and I woke up at 3am from a nightmare. I wasn't awake too long and by the time I woke up again at 10.30! I had forgotten all about it.
I didn't do a whole lot today. Mum went out to see her friend and to get Grampy's will sorted. I spent the afternoon, about 6 hours, scanning all of Grampy's Army paperwork (which I found in the same draw as Nanny's grave confirmation letter, of which I still haven't found anything significant about it) and old photos onto my computer. I finally stopped scanning when dinner was ready. Cottage pie today.
I caught up on some of my YouTube subscriptions, Chicago PD episode 3.09 and Chicago Fire episode 4.08. Ate some chocolate, marzipan and a strawberry Yeo Valley yoghurt and went to bed about 11.30.
Told you, didn't do a whole lot today.

January 7th 2016
My Mum had her annual MRI appointment today so I decided to go with her, do a bit of shopping in town etc. etc. The appointment was at 11.30 and took about a half an hour. She also had to change her clothes and couldn't have any metal on her at all for magnetic reasons I presume. They gave her these orange pyjama things which in my opinion made her look like a prisoner! just without the inmate number on the front. Whilst Mum was in the MRI, one of Grampy's doctors rushed by with a woman in a bed. I didn't catch everything but I believe it was her mother being rushed into CT. The woman didn't look very healthy. I hope she's ok now though. Fingers crossed.
Once the MRI was done I treated Mum to a coffee and éclair in Dunelm Mill around the corner. I had a pepsi and a lemon and poppy seed muffin. Was delicious. We had a quick look around the shop while we were there and bought Christmas crackers, napkins and a new tree decoration for our next Christmas. 11.5 months away...
Our next appointment of the day was until 2.40pm so we had at least an hour and a half to kill in the meantime. We went into town and decided to go to M&S as we don't usually and I did find a nice, simple neckless with the letter S on. The S stands for Grampy's name.
Went over the road to Morrison's and for the last couple days I have been fancying a pizza so I found one 'Mediterranean veg' and I did buy some extra mozzarella.
Our next appointment was to the Registry office. To register Grampy's death. I hope you don't mind but I'd rather not get into much detail on that one.
I put my pizza in the oven to cook. It takes about 15 minutes on 200C. I went into the other room and totally forgot about it. About 30 minutes later Dad called for me and it was then I realised my pizza was still in the oven, probably black. I ran to it's rescue and luckily I had put the temperature too low on 170C and so the pizza turned out to be cooked perfectly! Must have been luck.
That was about it for January 7th for me. I watched a bit of TV and went to bed after that.

January 6th 2016
I have been gone for a few days now, I apologise, let me catch up a bit.
January 6th:
Had to set my alarm for 9am today. I didn't want to get up but we were going to Grampy's house via a quick stop on the way at Curry's for ink cartridges for our printer.
I was having a look in a couple cupboards at Grampy's finding some odd bits. For instance, there was a secret draw in the end of a fold away table, I opened it and the first thing I find is a pinecone. Yep a pinecone. Weird, must've had a meaning at some point big enough for someone to keep it. Also, in another draw I found a letter addressed to my late Nan with a date on of 1981. It was a confirmation of her buying a grave plot in the nearby cemetery. I showed the letter to my Mum and she had never heard of it. Later that evening my Mum on the phone to my aunt also had no clue what that was about. No one had heard of Nan buying a grave or wanting to be buried. We gave her a cremation.
I did a brief search online on my phone whilst at Gramp's but couldn't see anything specific. I carried on looking around the house and thought I would have a proper look on my laptop once I got home. I found a plastic 3d puzzle of an apple. I took that home to do. It was a little tricky but I got there eventually. Lastly I found an old picture of my brother in the classic Grampy's apron for his workshop outback, the backwards jacket that at some point all us grandkids probably wore.
I did have another brief look online about the grave letter on my laptop but still didn't really find anything. My brother, Dad and I were going out this evening to the cinema to see the new Star Wars. When we got there I found out we were seeing it in 3d (even better!) and when we bought the tickets it came up with 'Screen 2', this is the deluxe room in our cinema (even better still!) I got the midweek special as it was a Wednesday which was Small popcorn and a small drink for £4 something.
The film was awesome! So good. Seeing it in 3d too was pretty cool. When we came out of the screen we all did the usual of going to the loo. And one point for the ladies. I was the first out of the loo and I was the one who had to wait for the others! When they finally did make an appearance my brother ran towards me and did a karate jumpy kicky thingy. Some man behind laughed and said 'Has someone just seen Star Wars?'
We got home around 10 and I finished my night off with finishing a fizzy sweet puzzle, those pink and blue bottle shaped ones, which I had started Boxing Day 2014.

January 5th 2016
January 5th started off by being woken up at 9.20 by the phone. About the same time as yesterday I believe. It was Joan, Grampy's friend, wanting to know details of Grampy's funeral. I tried to go back to sleep but it didn't work too well; I eventually got up at 10.
Mum and I went into town to do a bit of January sales shopping although we didn't find much. We stopped in Matalan first. It's just outside the main town area so you either go there first - if you have the car with you that is- or you don't go there at all. I tried on this white crocheted top. I kinda liked it but there was something about it and when I'm not sure about an item of clothing. I tend not to get it. Because really, will I actually wear it?
I drove around to Morrison's; you get 2 hours parking for free in there. You don't need to even spend £5 in the shop anymore. Found a nice spot nearest to the shops. We walked around to the local paper shop so we could place Grampy's death announcement in this weeks issue to notify anyone we haven't told and to give date and time of the funeral to anyone wanting to come.
I didn't really buy anything on this shopping trip. 6 rolls of Christmas wrapping paper for £1! Ready for Christmas in 11.5 months time... A cardboard Taj Mahal 3d puzzle, a 20p cloudy lemonade and a toffee crisp (which I think mum bought). I ate that when we got back to the car.
When we got home I had to bury my fish Pedro. I waited to see if it was going to stop raining so I wouldn't get wet burying him but it didn't look like it would so I went anyway. I got soaked but I managed to bury Pedro with Norman and Alfred in the garden. I stopped raining. As soon as I stepped back inside my house.
I took down our Christmas decorations today. It was sad. While I took down the tree I watched Hawaii Five-0 1x03 and a couple episodes of Friends. One of which included the famous Ross 'Pivot!' trying to get a sofa up the stairs.
I went out for dinner today with a friend of mine. No special occasion just general catch up chat. I had a 'French Hen Burger' it was garlic chicken and came with an Everest of chips. My friend had vegetable pasta with garlic bread and I bet nobody liked our breaths the rest of that night.
About 3 hours later I got home. I watched some YouTube vlogs including: Shay and Collette's 13th Wedding Anniversary, Charles Trippy's No More Chemo and a Bonnie Hoellein with Boston crying at the fire place.
I made my tiny Taj Mahal puzzle and went to bed about 1 but couldn't get to sleep until about 3.

January 4th 2016 - Lasagne, TV and biscuits.
Day 4 of 2016. Day 1 of my week off work and I get woken up by the phone ringing. Let's just say I wasn't too pleased about it. I couldn't get back to sleep so I got up and had a shower.
Dad had found a picture of my Grandpa which was perfect for the front of Gramps' Order of Service so I spent the next couple hours trying to get our scanner to work from my laptop and then the image needed recolouring as it was a bit bright when printed etc. But was easily fixable.
The rest of the afternoon for me included sitting on the couch watching Wild at Heart and Friends with custard creams and bourbon biscuits. Wasn't bad. Though my fish died at some point. His swim bladder went and had been swimming awkwardly for the past couple days. RIP Pedro. Found a box which would do as a coffin and dad got him out his tank all wrapped up for his burial the next day. Yes I bury my fish; the royal flush isn't good enough in this house.
Lasagne and garlic bread was for dinner tonight. It was delicious. I ate more than I thought I would. It was followed by me catching up with NCIS:LA and youtube. I got into bed at 10.30 but doubt I actually went to sleep until at least 1 am.

January 3rd 2016
A pretty uneventful day for me today, not a lot going on. I had work from 11 until finish; I believe I finished about 9.15. Not too shabby. It was a pretty quiet day; lunchtime was dead so was forced to have my break at 2pm which I hate, having my break too early makes the rest of the day drag a little too much but we do get an hour though.
I remember having a turkey roast dinner as it was a Sunday, with roast spuds, carrots -about 5 pieces, I'm not a fan but I have to get my veggies in me somehow- and a big Yorkshire pudding. Although I couldn't manage the whole thing.
Had a chat about the karaoke night up the bar along the road, about nearly falling asleep at work and about getting me a new drink because I had just ran out, with a member of our bar staff. And went home without too much of an OCD struggle for the day.
Once I got home I ate 3 mini sausage rolls, a brownie and 2 custard creams in the space of 5 minutes, watched the end of an episode of Castle where a Chinese woman killed a Chinese man named Henry so that she wouldn't end up alone but she just ended up in prison instead and a quick snippet of the Royal Variety Performance, a repeat from what was on at Christmas, then to bed and probably watching some tv and not going to sleep until at least 1am.

2nd January 2016
Day 2 of the new year and after finally falling asleep at 3am, I woke at 9.30 and then shortly after that,my brother knocked on my bedroom door.
We were taking Nan out for a couple hours, and when I say couple hours, it was more like 5. It started off with a trip to Dunelm Mill, she had a voucher and Paul needed new bedding. I bought myself a new duvet and pillow case set called 'Gatsby' and Nan bought a new dining room light fixture with her voucher.
Curry's was next for Paul to buy new headphones. I, mind you, played on the Rockband they had set up to play. It was short lived. The controller kept losing signal. Also when playing the drums and then having to get your foot going on the peddle at the same time, that's very difficult.
After Curry's we decided to pop over to Ryde and to BusyBee for a quick browse at their January sales which turns out there really wasn't much of a sale. So proceeding to the café, it was us grandkids treating with 2 teas, 2 large hot chocolates, 2 fruit scones (BusyBee scones are delicious by the way) and a lemon meringue pie. Oh before Christmas, Dad and I went to BusyBee quickly and noticed a real cat sat on top of a fake reindeer. No jokes here, it was a totally real cat sat on a fake reindeer in the middle of a shop. And guess what, the cat was still there today, same exact spot. Paul being the childish person he is flicked the cats ear and it jumped. It was definitely a real cat.
Tesco was our next stop, I won £1 on a scratch card, had a sample shot of prosecco, and bought a caramel chocolate tasting game which we played after we had had a roast dinner. You basically had to just eat the caramels and try and guess the correct flavour. It was 10 minutes worth of entertainment for £1.50.
Dropped Nan back off at her home with her shopping then to watch the Minions movie which I got on DVD for Christmas. Nearly managed to see all of it but my track record for watching films in 2016 and not falling asleep half way through is already failing.
Junior Monopoly was the game of choice tonight as Mum wanted a simple game and Paul wanted Monopoly. I lost.
Carrying on from last night, I added/changed a few bits on Grampy's Order of Service and then his Newspaper announcement. Put my new duvet and pillow set on my bed, got in bed and then watched a couple episodes of Grey's Anatomy (episodes 6.03 and 6.04 to be precise) and then eventually fell asleep not that long after 3 am.
Productive day wouldn't you say.

January 1st 2016
First of all I would like to say Happy New Year to everyone. I hope you had a great start to 2016.
My New Year started off with having to go to work. Yippee! I remember I wore jeggings from h&m and teal colour vans with a floral jumper. Random I know.
Work was ok I guess. I was there from 11-5 which is not as bad as it could've been. It was pretty busy over the lunch time. Not so much as in we struggled but enough to keep us on our feet. Dean had a hangover from hell; he apparently rushed to the loo twice to vomit. Said he felt better after though. His own fault.
At the end of work I got changed and as I went to sign out on the timesheet I got drawn on the neck by Louis. A smiley face. I said nothing rude. Glad he obliged.
I got home by 5.30 and Icelands fishcakes, chios (chips if you haven't gathered ;) I'm calling them chios because when someone -not naming names- types chips at work on the till they misspell it as chios so I'm using that from now on) and also peas were already cooking for me. Thank you Mum.
After dinner Tangled was on the tv and I'd never seen it before so I wanted to today. I don't remember all of it. I may or may not have fallen asleep a few times haha. My head was definitely nodding. Otherwise though it was good.
I scoffed a bunch of biscuits. Custard creams (my favourites), chocolate digestives and bourbons!
I woke up fully when the film finished at about 8pm so my folks and I played junior scrabble. We were awake but not awake enough for regular scrabble. By the time we stopped playing, it was at least 10pm. I got out my laptop and wrote out my Grandpa's Order of Service from mums notes. I put that away not long before midnight. I had done enough of that for one day. I finally went to bed watching youtube videos including the Shaytards in Hawaii, Noah from SamikaVlogs doing the splits and Danny Duncan and Charles Trippy's vlogs of them at Travis Clark's clued party.
That wraps up my first day of 2016. See you soon for January 2nd.
My New Year started off with having to go to work. Yippee! I remember I wore jeggings from h&m and teal colour vans with a floral jumper. Random I know.
Work was ok I guess. I was there from 11-5 which is not as bad as it could've been. It was pretty busy over the lunch time. Not so much as in we struggled but enough to keep us on our feet. Dean had a hangover from hell; he apparently rushed to the loo twice to vomit. Said he felt better after though. His own fault.
At the end of work I got changed and as I went to sign out on the timesheet I got drawn on the neck by Louis. A smiley face. I said nothing rude. Glad he obliged.
I got home by 5.30 and Icelands fishcakes, chios (chips if you haven't gathered ;) I'm calling them chios because when someone -not naming names- types chips at work on the till they misspell it as chios so I'm using that from now on) and also peas were already cooking for me. Thank you Mum.
After dinner Tangled was on the tv and I'd never seen it before so I wanted to today. I don't remember all of it. I may or may not have fallen asleep a few times haha. My head was definitely nodding. Otherwise though it was good.
I scoffed a bunch of biscuits. Custard creams (my favourites), chocolate digestives and bourbons!
I woke up fully when the film finished at about 8pm so my folks and I played junior scrabble. We were awake but not awake enough for regular scrabble. By the time we stopped playing, it was at least 10pm. I got out my laptop and wrote out my Grandpa's Order of Service from mums notes. I put that away not long before midnight. I had done enough of that for one day.

My absence
I know I have been away from here for a while, I do apologise, but I have had a whole lot of crap going on in my life. Basically my Grandpa was ill from the start of November 2015, in hospital: 2surgeries, life support, pnuemonia, multiple organ failure etc etc. I'm not going to go into anymore detail about that right now. But my Grandpa died on December 25th 2015. Christmas day of all days eh. He did pick his moments I tell you.
It's been difficult but from now hopefully I can get back on track. Starting with this blog! I am thinking of posting my day to day goings on in my life over the whole of 2016. I'm hoping to get something up each day but I am telling you now I am not making that a promise. I'll try my best though. I hope you will follow me along this new journey of mine.
Love Katie.
P.S I know I am already a 8 days behind schedule but I am hoping to catch up with that asap!

You Are Not Aone
I have a couple different fears one of which is spiders. I hate the damned things. All creepy with the excessive amount of legs.
I have a big fear of being alone. Of never finding anyone to spend the rest of my life with. I think about this nearly every day but I just have to keep telling myself I'm not. I do believe I'm not alone; well I at least force myself to believe that I'm not alone. It's just when I get home and I'm by myself again, that's when I have to reassure myself over and over that once again, that I am not, ever alone.
I just want you all to know that you are not ever alone either. There is always someone else. Always someone to talk to no matter what you're going through. Don't ever believe that you are alone. Talk to me. I'll be here.
